Bengaluru: In July 2023, an iron rod fell onto a passing car at the BMRCL Metro construction site (Bagmane Tech Park Bangalore), causing damage due to BMRCL negligence. “While driving my car, an iron rod fell on it from the BMRCL metro site construction, causing damage to my car. Fortunately, no one was injured. I attempted to obtain contact information for the BMRCL site supervisor, but the workers refused to provide it. They apologized for the incident but did not seem to take it seriously. This situation could be potentially life-threatening if the same thing happened to a person instead of a car. “said” Manasa.“
If the iron rod falls on someone who is walking or riding a two-wheeler, it could cause severe injury or even death. The BMRCL should ensure that helpline numbers are prominently displayed around the metro construction site.
